This study aimed to identify issues that arose during the early response stage of the Bam earthquake as perceived by the aid workers. Eleven people who had been involved in the Bam earthquake response, and who were working for the Red Crescent in Iran or the Kerman University of Medical Science teams, were interviewed. These groups were two of the main organizations providing assistance to victims of the Bam earthquake. The authors used two nonrandom sampling methods, namely, purposive and snowball sampling. The interviewees identified two main barriers for achieving an effective response at the early stage aftermath of the earthquake, as follows: first, the lack of accurate information on the location and extent of the earthquake due to shortage in communication tools and, second, inadequate training on different challenges posed in relation to the disaster, before the earthquake occurred.
本研究旨在确定援助工作者所认为的巴姆地震早期应对阶段出现的问题。对11名参与巴姆地震救援工作、在伊朗红新月会或克尔曼医科大学团队工作的人员进行了访谈。这些团体是向巴姆地震受害者提供援助的两个主要组织。作者采用了两种非随机抽样方法，即目的抽样和滚雪球抽样。受访者指出了在地震灾后早期实现有效应对的两个主要障碍，如下：第一，由于通信工具短缺，缺乏关于地震地点和范围的准确信息；第二，在地震发生前，针对灾害带来的不同挑战缺乏充分培训。
